I understand quite well howq the country works. That's fully irrelevant here. Fact is the CCP controls the country completely.
China is the exact opposite of communist. I'd call them predatory capitalist.
But, if you want, you can call them whatever you wish. Are you then conceding that Communism has been a resounding success?
No. But the CCP has transitioned the Chinese economy while retaining absolute control. Tyranny remains intact.
Tyranny, authoritarianism, etc. is not necessarily communism. You do know that; right?
:doh
China is ruled by the Chinese Communist Party as a one-party state. It is therefore by definition a communist country regardless of its social or economic system.
That's a ridiculous statement. Are you next going to argue North Korea is a Republic because it calls itself one? :roll:
The only thing that's ridiculous here is your denial of the plain facts. The Chinese Communist Party rules China as a one-party state. China is therefore a communist country. QED
There is nothing in the definition of the word "republic" that precludes its use by North Korea.
So, in your opinion, China is communist because they say they are, and North Korea is a Republic because they say they are. Too bad you're wrong.
No. That's not what I said. China is communist because it is ruled by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Ideology has nothing to do with it.
North Korea can call itself a republic because there's nothing in the definition of "republic" that prevents it.
China, being the most successful country today in the battle of market domination and economic might, makes it far more capitalist even than the US, which is a dwindling superpower riddled with corruption and stagnation due to its low level of education and lack of upward mobility. China is no more communist than is South Korea.
The fact that China is now economically capitalist in no way contradicts its status as a communist country.

[h=3]China anniversary: How the Communist Party runs the country ...[/h]
Sep 30, 2019 - The Communist Party of China is in complete control of the country, from government to police to military. With some 90 million members, it is organised like a pyramid, with the politburo and eventually President Xi Jinping at the top. While there is a parliament, the National ...
What was that again? Oh, yeah.
"The fact that China is now economically capitalist in no way contradicts its status as a communist country."
Yes. It remains true.
Yes. And, I will continue to remind everyone of that. :roll:
As you wish. You only embarrass yourself.
Right because countries which are economically capitalist are always considered to be Communist. :roll:
Countries which are governed as one party states by the Communist Party are communist, yes.
Names mean nothing. Democratic Republic of Congo should give you a clue on that one.
I've been there. It's irrelevant to this discussion.
China angered by pro-democracy tweet by Houston Rockets’ GM - MarketWatch
Ted Cruz hit it out of the park with his tweet:
Ted Cruz on Twitter: "As a lifelong @HoustonRockets fan, I was proud to see @dmorey call out the Chinese Communist Party’s repressive treatment of protestors in Hong Kong.
Now, in pursuit of big $$, the @nba is shamefully retreating.… https://t.co/wgNEd03pGD"
Maybe just maybe the NBA shouldn't be doing so much business with a communist country that has such a horrible record with human rights.
What's irrelevant is what countries call themselves in their euphemistic titles; kind of like "Land of the Free" when there are over two million people in prison, most of them for non-violent drug offenses.
China is not communist. It hasn't been since the 90's.
China is a one-party state ruled by the CCP. It's a Communist country. Almost all the people in prison in the US deserve to be there, and we on the outside are better off because they're on the inside.
Yes we know, they are communist even though they are "economically capitalist." :roll:
Logic like that explains a lot.
